Abstract: Imaging apparatus includes an imaging support and a number of imaging device tiles (56,58). Each tile includes an imaging device having an imaging surface and has a non-active region (50) at or adjacent an edge of the tile. The imaging device on a tile mounted on said support is tilted such that a part of the imaging surface (60) of one tile at least partially overlies the non-active region of another tile, thereby providing substantially continuous imaging in a first direction. The space between tiles in the direction orthogonal to the first direction is minimised by ensuring that the width of the imaging surface of a detector layer of the imaging device is the same as or greater than that of a readout layer of the imaging device and that of a mount for the imaging device. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A stock feed system for a multi-layer headbox in which a stock concept is passed into each inlet header in the multi-layer headbox. The stock concepts are produced out of the same fresh stock by adding chemicals and fillers to divided portions of that fresh stock. To this end, the system includes a single fresh-stock container, and stock lines into which the fillers, additives and equivalent are added in compliance with the requirements of each concept. The stock feed system also includes at least one fiber distributor for transferring long fibers out of the stock that is destined to form the surface layer of the paper into the stock that is destined to form a layer placed in the interior of the paper, preferably the middle layer. Fibers having a shorter length, compared with the average distribution of fibers in the basic stock derived from the stock container, are allowed to remain in the surface layer of the paper/board, and longer fibers, compared with the average distribution of fibers, are allowed to remain in the middle layer and/or are transferred into the middle layer.

Abstract: The spatial optical switching system comprises a multi-channel acousto-optic deflector (DM) linking a number of input optical fibres (f) and a number of output optical fibres. A number of input micro-lenses (BL) provide collimation of the beams emerging from the input fibres (f) on to the deflector (DM), upstream of the deflector. Beyond the deflector there is a Fourier lens (L) with the deflector lying in the focal plane of this lens. There is also a second multi-channel acousto-optic deflector (DM) arranged downstream of the Fourier lens, in the image focal plane of the lens, and a series of output micro-lenses (BL) ensure the focussing of the light emerging from the Fourier lens on to the output optical fibres (S).

IPC: H04N7/173

Abstract: The interactive multimedia devices is based on network structures involving: a
broadcasting network (120) and a return path network (140). On the
broadcasting network, the interactive data are multiplexed with the broadcast
audiovisual signals so as to offer interactivity to connected end-users on the
return path network. The information provided by the viewers is homogenized
owing to a standardized format stored in the terminals and in the service
provider viewer database. In this way, it is possible to select a specific terminal
or a category of viewers by using their profiles and not by using their physical
addresses and to allow the viewer to react in a very short time in an interactive
application mainly for interactive applications dedicated to commercial
purposes. To address specific sociological profile, and to save bandwidth, a
criteria file called a filter is attached to the digital data multiplexed with the
audiovisual signals. Then, each operational interactive terminal receives the
digital data with an attached filter. The interactive terminal applies the script of
the filter to the criteria included in the filter and to the criteria contained in the
viewers profile registered during the installation phase in order to enable the
interactive connection. 
     In another implementation, a plurality of filters, let's say a number N, is
associated with a single interactive application. In such case, the comparison
continues until one of the N filters match the profile stored in the terminal
permanent memory. If one of the filters matches the viewer's profile, the
interactive application is executed, else the application is ignored. In this way,
a plurality of categories of viewers can interact. A plurality of filters can be
associated with an interactive application with different contents. To each filter
corresponds a content. These contents are displayed if the corresponding
filters match the viewers profile.

Abstract: A method for indicating the prevailing service situation in a packet radio network (1, 2) which includes at least one base station (BTS) and at least one terminal equipment (MS, PC), and where several classes for the quality of service have been determined. In accordance with the invention, at least one parameter representing the service situation of the packet radio network is determined and this parameter is made available to the terminal equipment (MS, PC). The parameter can be determined in some fixed network element of the network, such as a base station system (BSS) or a support node (SGSN). Alternatively, the parameter can be determined in the terminal equipment (MS, PC). The parameter can be sent simultaneously to several terminal equipments (MS, PC) on a broadcast channel, preferably on BCCH or PBCCH or as a multicast transmission (e.g. Point-To-Multipoint) or it can be sent to one terminal equipment at a time as a Point-To-Point transmission or a short message, for example. If the parameters are sent to all terminal equipments at the same time, it is most advantageously to send simultaneously the parameters representing the situation of all the classes for the quality of service.
